- The 47 Ronin is a true story that happened in 14 Dec 1702.
The 47 Ronin avenge their master ASANO in an unprecedented attack, resulting to their destined Death.
Japan's certainly have a very complex history and culture.
In order to understand each phase of their history you have to go which period it happened. This particular story happened on 18th Century ( Dec 14 1702) Japan then was absolutely ruled politically by the shugons, and under him was a powerful shugonate court. where KIRA belongs to, he hold a very influential position in the Shugon's court.
Here comes ASANO a Daimyo in AKO ( AKO is located in HYOGO PREFECTURE) who was a man of honor.
The 47 Ronin story was a story of how a SAMURAI should be. Their service is beyond the lifetime of their master, unmatched LOYALTY, HONOR and Bravery!
¨I will search for you through a thousand worlds, and ten thousand lifetimes......¨
The loyalty of 47 ronin's to their master is beyond words
Indeed. That is also one of Japanese culture i guess. Loyalty.
Yes. Loyalty in its purest !

I like the FACT that you mentioned 47 SAMURAI towards the end because that is correct! They restored their honor and status as Samurai after accomplishing their mission to avenge their Lord.
Thank you for uploading this video. I went to Sengaku Ji twice in '06 and '07. Each time I went I was suddenly too nervous to go through the entire graveyard. It was so quiet and so surreal for me. The well where the heads of the 47 were washed is still there too.
It certainly is one of those places that you really should go to see for yourself.
Speaking of the incident, if you should ever find the time to visit the imperial palace, be sure to find the walkway on which Lord Asano attached Kira. There's a sign that shows it.
Once again thank you, Donna for uploading this video. It really brought back memories for me. 🙏🏾
That means a lot!! 😍 I am so interested in this kind of History, it’s really fascinating.
Next time you go to Sengaju - Ji just go inside and light those sticks for the 47 I had a ghost bumps while i was doing it.
Thanks for informing me! I haven’t been to Imperial palace, it is always closed when I am in Tokyo, also during the Pandemic the schedule of openings changes.
If anyone is visiting now, the tombstones have the ronin’s names and ages.
Great video. Thank you!

Thank you for your upload, my question is are there any living relatives of the samurais?
I have watched this video till the end. I am also a fan of these 47 brave ronin.
I have noticed that you have never mentioned about Kai,what happened to him?
Ronin #47 did not commit harakiri. He was sent to Ako to report on the death of Kira. It was a long journey and when he returned the other 46 Ronin had died. The Shogun pardoned him and he lived to be 87. He is buried with his 46 comrades. I'm not sure where Kira is buried.
Yes that’s actually what the “true” account accdg to my readings on diff sources.
Hi from Scotland 🏴
I live in Ako City and I don't know the real story of the 47 ronin 😅 Thanks for the video!
I had just finished watching the movie on Netflix. I must say this is fascinating and inspiring. Thank you!
I will like to know what happened to their swords?
There’s a musuem i think on the complex ( I can’t remember now, but I have not explored it - as they close early)
this is amazing .. I want to goooo
Thanks. Definitely visit it when you are in Tokyo 💜
Watch the movie, one of my favourite, a little fictional but still based on the true stuff would love to visit
Don't waste your time watching the movie with Keanu Reeves. It's pure bullshit. Watch the 1941 movie _The 47 Ronin_ and it's free on UA-cam.
Damn! I though I'm done with the Ako vassals. Next time I hear about Asano and his cronies again, I'm really going to lose my head. 😡😡😡😡
My sing is there)
47 ronins movie brought me here. So Kai is just a fictional character, uh?
Is Kai Tom Cruise? I forgot the movie, but yeah if Kai is Tom Cruise his Character is fictional.
Keannu Reeves not Tom Cruise
Correct. To get the real story, watch the *free* UA-cam movie made in 1941 titled _The 47 Ronin._ However, it's long at around 3 hours and 42 minutes.
Hello every one kai the half breed lived his actually from Hawaii😂
Laughing at the people behind you, wondering what you are up to.
😂😂😂 they must’ve been thinking how weird
Where is kai
Kira’s burial place - i don’t know, but his Old house’s place was in the middle of urban Tokyo.
Sorry Kai? U mean Tom Cruise in the movie?
@@user-ii9rm9zu9p you mean kenu revees
what a waste of good troops, its sad. they should have been hero's
Pretty kool. But man.. what a waste of life. Why would you WANT good soldiers/samuria to kill themselves???
it was because of the samurai philosophy that the Japanese committed the atrocities during ww2
Put off your sunglasses, if you make a video.
The story of the 47 Ronins itself is the embellishment of a true historical event known as the Ako Incident in the historical records of Japan. The story is portrayed in Chushingura. The historical Asano Naganori is not the gentleman portrayed in the story but a man with a rash hot headed personality and often acts on impulse. The Shogunate had agents to spy on all the feudal lords and document their personalities. Asano's records in the Shogunate documents do not reflect any positive traits. The administration of Ako, Asano's domain was done by his chief retainer Oishi Yoshio as Asano lacks the interest in ruling his domain and spends most of the time indulging in pleasure. He and another feudal lord are assigned by the Shogunate to host a visiting envoy from Kyoto. Kira Yoshinake being a koke or master of ceremonies is assigned to teach them on court etiquettes and rituals. Kira is portrayed as a greedy and corrupt court official who demand bribes for tutoring Asano and another feudal lord court etiquettes. Whether Kira is greedy and corrupt as portrayed will never be known. Kira's position as the master of ceremonies is highly prestigious but unfortunately a low paid position. His annual income is barely 10% of Asano's annual income. Perhaps Kira expected some rich gifts as compensations for tutoring as a supplement to his meagre income. As a master of ceremonies, Kira sets a very high standard and demands perfection. Official records mention that Kira has the reputation of a fair and honorable person and is highly respected by many people even the shogun himself. Also Kira often funded the constructions of infrastructures in his hometown and is well respected by its inhabitants. Asano lacks patient to learn the court etiquettes properly and perhaps got frequent reprimanded by Kira. Being a rash person, Asano perhaps see all the reprimands by Kira as insults and decides to attack Kira while still inside the Shogun's castle. It will never known if Kira did insulted Asano though most likely it never happens in the first place. It is a great crime of drawing a sword while in the Shogun's castle and punishable by death. Asano will choose time and place to strike Kira if he is truly a gentleman as portrayed in the story and will not foolishly attack Kira while still within the Shogun's castle. Due to his rash hot headed personality, he attacks Kira within the Shogun's Castle and got punished by committing seppuku. The act of the 47 Ronin is criticized by some renown samurais. The author of Hagakure, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, ask a well-known question of what happen if Kira died less than a year after Asano's death due to an illness. The ronins wait for more than a year before finding an opportunity to strike. Kira is already at the advanced age of 60 as the average life expectancy is around age 40 plus. When that happens, the ronins will lost their only chance to exact revenge and will forever be branded as cowards thus bringing shame to the Asano clan. Furthermore Asano did broken the law and had to be dealt with accordingly and they are forbidden under law to seek revenge. Also the ronins may have self interest reason for reporting their plan to the Shogunate. Perhaps they expect to be pardoned by the Shogunate on grounds they had acted according to Bushido and enable them to find employment elsewhere. The ronins fail in their duty of guiding their feudal to become a better person. So they blame the misfortune of their feudal lord on a court official who has the misfortune of teaching court etiquettes to a feudal lord with a rash hot headed personality rather than their incompetent feudal lord. They justify their attack by accusing Kira as a dishonorable and corrupt court official. Hence the story of the 47 Ronin is more about carrying out revenge based on misguided honor, loyalty and sacrifice.
Are you comedy 🤣???? If this is what you said is true,then this story,movie,and even these graveyards wouldn't have been here,you dumb asshole 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the earth is flat and we never went to the moon.
Your comments are always the same in every video about 47 samurai, are you a descendant of Kira?
@@fujitsuentertainment6539 I am just a history enthusiast. The 47 Ronins is an interesting story but is filled with inaccuracies and misconception. A feudal lord with a rash and impulsive personality is glorified as a honorable hero while an elderly court official with 40 years of dedicated service to the Shogun is villified as a greedy and corrupt villain. Kira is the true victim of injustice instead of Asano.
Is there really a halfbreed?
